On Wednesday evening the garden stayed open until 8pm, more than an hour past the 6:15 sunset. It was fun to shoot many of the plants that were illuminated via strategically placed LED lights. In addition to the plantings, there was the requisite sunset over the adjoining waterway. I had a tripod available but never used it. Rather i trusted to the IBIS of the Canon R5 coupled with the IS of the RF 70-200 F2.8 IS. Some of the shots that I took were at 1/20 sec (not included in the attached photos). The one sunset sho that I am including here was actually the only one that I took. I was standing in a crowd when my wife noticed the birds flying over. If I could recompose that shot I would have caught the birds lower to the horizon. If any one knows how to do this in post i would really be happy to learn.

Great place. We visited during the day.
Very nice series. These gardens are very nice and you took great advantage to take some photos. Thanks for sharing.
